gnome-terminal crashes on "insert line" sequene

[Micah Cowan]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a fresh gnome-terminal. There must be lines below the prompt to which text has never yet been written.
2. Enter the command: $ printf '\033[L'
    (the "INSERT LINE" sequence will be sent to gnome-terminal)
3. gnome-terminal crashes.

My assumption is that this is a vte bug; if it's a gnome-terminal bug, please redirect appropriately (I'm on a work machine, and don't want to install xfce4 stuff to check this).

This is on Karmic. gnome-terminal 2.28.1-0ubuntu1, libvte9 1:0.22.2-0ubuntu2

Hmm - confirmed on current Lucid; in gdb we see:

**
Vte:ERROR:/build/buildd/vte-0.22.2/./src/ring.c:532:_vte_ring_remove: assertion failed: (_vte_ring_contains (ring, position))

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Upstream says it's fixed in 0.22.5 vte

this should be fixed on lucid since it contains libvte 1:0.23.2-0ubuntu1 ; marking this as fixed, thanks.
